Hi DoE, Main Immigration Office (Duhail) may be busy and sometimes they don’t allow entry in the evening. For correction of approved visa, you can try visiting any other MOI Service Center. Most probably they can do that.
Hello Doha Guide Team,
Thanks for the information. Would you please inform the other MOI Service Centre that can handle the corrections of the approved visa, other than Duhail?
thank you,
best regards
Doe
Hi DoE, You can try Mesaimeer, Wakra or Pearl. They were allowing corrections earlier. But we never know when they change policies.

Hi Sarath Kumar, It seems expatriate affairs are still in Gharaffa. Those who visited Gharaffa recently were asked to come back in September.
Hai I have applied for family RP to my son and wife but I was canceled what should I do now
Hi Jothi, If the reason for rejection says “sponsor does not meet conditions” either it could be salary or profession. If you have the required qualifications and still it was rejected, you have to visit Immigration office with all your original documents. Note that Gharaffa Immigration is not allowing entry this month. You can either try visiting or go next month.
HI.
MY PROFESSION IS “SECREATARY” IS THIS PROFESSION IS OK ?
Hi Fasil, Yes, it should be approved if your salary meets eligibility.
Has anyone visited here?
Yes, for a visit visa purpose, but they asked me to go back to old office itself ( Al Rayan)
